Katie is an artist-leader who supports artists to develop creative projects that serve them and their communities. Working in a neuro-affirming, strengths-based way, she is the founder of neurodiversity charity Starling CIO and co-founder of Almia CIC, a 'performance art-ivist' project working for queer play, joy and liberation.

There will also be lots of opportunities to chat with fellow artists and creatives from across Tameside, along with the network’s usual sharing of creative resources, notices, and news from Tameside and beyond, so feel free to bring any news of your latest projects or activities to share! Refreshments will be provided.
The nearest council car park to the venue is Old Cross Street Car park, and more information can be found here.
